Hi,
Reported elsewhere (dare I  ;) ) http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/89153-dapol-scan-drs-class-68/#entry1551672 (http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/89153-dapol-scan-drs-class-68/#entry1551672) yesterday, Dapol had 68005 laser scanned in late July.
Quotehoping to have CAD files to show soon, with sample models in the UK around the end of the year
which is much better news that the Dapol website Product Development page which still shows the rather terse:
QuoteAwaiting Information from DRS. An ETA on this model at this moment is imposible to determine.
I'm informed this was posted back on the 3rd of June!  Anyhow, all very exciting...

Regards, Gerry  8)
